# Norwegische Volksmährchen vol. 1

_gesammelt von P. Asbjörnsen und Jörgen Moe_

By Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Engebretsen Moe.

"Norwegische Volksmährchen vol. 1" by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe is a collection of Norwegian folktales first published in 1841. Inspired by the Brothers Grimm, these two friends—a teacher and a minister—gathered tales during Norway's wave of nineteenth-century nationalism. They retold stories in simple language while preserving their original forms, creating "reconstructed" versions rather than raw transcriptions. Their work helped develop the Norwegian written language and became a cornerstone of national identity, earning praise from the Grimms themselves. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
